இந்த இரவு இன்ப இரவு
இன்று தொடங்கும் அன்பு உறவு
இளம் பூவே காலம் வீணாகுதே
இதழ் தேனூற்று என்னைத் தாலாட்டு
ஆ....இதழ் தேனூற்று என்னைத் தாலாட்டு
This night is a delightful night
A loving relationship begins today
O young flower, time is being wasted
Pour nectar from your lips and sing me a lullaby
Ah... Pour nectar from your lips and sing me a lullaby

This night is a delightful night
A loving relationship begins today
இந்த உடல் காமன் தந்த வரமோ
இந்த மலர் பூக்கும் நந்தவனமோ
புள்ளி மயில் நானும் உங்கள் விருந்து
உள்ளவரை நாளும் அள்ளி அருந்து
Is this body a boon given by the God of Love?
Is this a flower garden where blossoms bloom?
Female: I, the spotted peacock, am a feast for you
Scoop up and drink as long as life lasts
பத்து விரல் முத்திரைகள் சித்திரம் போடுமோ
இதழ் முத்தமிடும் சத்தங்களில் நித்திரை ஓடுமோ
இளம் பூவே பூவில் நீராடுமோ
இடை போராட
ஹஹாஹ்...
இதழ் நீராட...
ஹஹாஹ்...
இடை போராட இதழ் நீராட...

காலை வரை யாகம் இங்கு நடக்கும்
பாவை விழி மூட வெள்ளி முளைக்கும்
When the rain arrives, passion burns
When touching the saree, the body boils
Male: A sacred ritual of love will take place here until morning
By the time the maiden's eyes close, the morning star will rise
வஞ்சி இது கெஞ்சும் வரை கொஞ்சிட வேணுமோ
இளம் பிஞ்சு உடல் அஞ்சுவது நெஞ்சுக்கு தோணுமோ
இது காமன் கோயில் தேரானதோ
இனி நாள்தோறும்
ஹ்ம்ம்
கன்னி பாய் போடும்...
ஹாஹ்.....
இனி நாள்தோறும் கன்னி பாய் போடும்...
